The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be S = 13×5 / 2 = 32.5 units. However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667), so the apparent combined hypotenuse in each figure is actually bent.

The first part of New Mathematical Diversions describes these games in general, starting with linear forms , then progressing in detail with similar games using tiles shaped as equilateral triangles, squares, right isoceles triangles, cubes, and hexagons. [1]: Part I, 1–49 There are a total of 24 distinct squares for 3 colors.
This list of triangle topics includes things related to the geometric shape, either abstractly, as in idealizations studied by geometers, or in triangular arrays such as Pascal's triangle or triangular matrices, or concretely in physical space.
